In reply to the discussion: What Doctors Like Me Know About Americans' Health Care Anger [View all]LeftInTX
(32,167 posts)In 2012, my dad sent me a letter from his cardiologist encouraging everyone not to re-elect Obama. (My dad has since passed away) And I know my rheumatologist also is a big gop guy.
And the Texas Medical Associate and the America Medical Association have given John Cornyn numerous awards. They also are against Democrats because the GOP supports torte reform.
I put part of the blame on providers. If they care about this, more of them will be speak up collectively. Until that happens, I see them as part of the problem.
One of my friends from a Medicare of All group told me that almost all of the doctors are against Medicare for All and most of the doctors are GOP. Her husband was one of the few physicians who supported Medicare for All.
